50th Pamper

Ooo how I wish I was ...haha nope I really don't wish I was 50!! But then again if I got one of these pampercakes, then maybe 50 wouldn't be quite so bad haha

Way back before Christmas we were asked to make this pamper cake for Bryony's Mum. Apparently she'd seen all the cakes we'd been making for other people and loved them so Bryony thought it would be nice to buy her one of her own. 

With this cake we'd seen a new range of bath products that we were hoping to use, so when Bryony gave us a brief of purple it gave us the perfect excuse to use them! 

Hope she loved her cake Bryony!

December Birthday

I've already shared with you how frustrating I find it that my birthday is in December, but thankfully I'm not alone! 

Nope, one of Mum's oldest (and by oldest I don't mean age) friends also has her birthday in December! Plus she finds it just as frustrating as I do haha! Donna celebrated her birthday back on the 29th December and just like with my birthday, her family had to arrange the celebrations for a time away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas! It really is a pain...but then I guess it sort of works out so you have more than one birthday!! More than one birthday, but only one set of cards haha!

Talking of which, we were kindly asked by Donna's Daughters and Husband to make her birthday cards...

I'm always using Tatty teddy when it comes to Donna's sets of birthday cards for other people so I thought this year it would make a nice change to use a different character...I chose Tulip as some of the images seemed quite appropriate for Donna and her girls.

Donna's a cake baker so when I saw this image I could picture this being one of the scenes in her house...Donna baking cakes with one of her Daughters...

...then showing off the cake they made!!...

Followed by Donna relaxing and de-stressing in the tub after her long day of cake baking!! Well that's how I picture things anyway...not sure if they do really work out like that haha!

When it came to making the card from Donna's Husband, Mum knew exactly what she wanted to do...

Less cake and more love!! 

Hope you loved these cards Donna

Ooo What I'd Give...

To be 21 again haha!! You can't blame me for wishing can you? Much like all the "big" aged birthdays, I've always found a 21st birthday difficult to buy for. There's always a limited selection of cards to choose from...the gifts are all predictable and you're lucky if you don't buy the same thing as someone else. Thankfully as crafters I no longer have that problem!! Nope, now we get to make all kinds of different things for the "momentous" birthdays. The most popular gift at the moment seems to be the pampercakes...you can make them personal to the recipient by using their favourite things...

This one for instance is all "pinked" out! We even managed to get the chocolate to be pink too haha! Plus with pink being the theme of the gift, it made it easier to decide what to do for the card...

Even more pink...only this time with different colours!! 

Best of all though is that no-one will have brought them the same gift or card!!

Felt Friday Returns!

As I told you yesterday, we're back posting with a vengeance! Plus, not only that but we're also bringing back Felt Friday!! Starting today I shall be sharing just a few of the things Mum's been making out of felt...For months now she's been stitching this and that by hand, but for Christmas my Dad was kind enough to buy her a sewing machine! What's she been stitching with it I hear you ask? Well actually as of now it's still sitting in it's box!! Yes, that's right...in the box!! For month's she'd been planning what she'd do with the thing, yet now she's got it she's not used it haha!! I should probably tell you she's a bit scared of breaking it...she needs time to be able to sit and play and figure it all out...time that right now, none of us have...so until she gets that time she's still stitching everything by hand. 

What has she been stitching?? Well, anyone remember Barry? (Barry was the little penguin phone case Mum made). Barry now has friends!!....

Isn't it cute!! I haven't named the little monkey as this one's not mine. Having seen Barry, Mum was asked to make other animals/versions of the phone cases. She's been stitching away at quite a few different designs...all of which I'd love to share with you...BUT...Mum forgot to take photographs of them before giving them away (woops). Monkey was actually the first one she finally remembered to photograph, so Monkey is what I get to show you haha!! 

Ooo and seeing as a very special Lady likes a monkey, and loves pink...Mum instantly had to make another version...

I'm not quite sure which I prefer...perhaps I should have kept them both haha!!
